get_iplayer quits normally in the first mins of downloading BBC radio 1'sessential mix. It returns:
> INFO: All streaming threads completed
But the show is only partially downloaded. (e.g. I have the first 10 MBof about 84 MB).
This does not seem to happen with other shows, for example Judge Juleson radio 1.
The problem started for the essential mix on the 18th of November 2011and continues. Earlier Essential Mix shows worked fine.
BBC's own iPlayer in Firefox on my system does not seem to suffer anyproblems with this show.
I have tried many of the command line options and am using get_iplayerversion 2.8 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Thanks in advanceFenwick

I can't reproduce this problem.  a few questions...

I get:

[stuff...]
Matches:
10360:  radio, BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix - Eats Everything from In:Motion, BBC
 Radio 1, Dance & Electronica,Experimental & New,Music,Popular,Radio

INFO: 1 Matching Programmes

INFO: Trying flashaacstd1 mode to record radio: BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix - Ea
ts Everything from In:Motion
INFO: File name prefix = Eats_Everything_from_InMotion
[... more stuff]

are you seeing the line INFO: Trying flashaacstd1 mode?
or is it trying a different mode?

also, what version of rtmpdump are you using?  (rtmpdump -v will tell you)

finally, what options are you running get_iplayer with?  (get_iplayer
--prefs-show)

If you see "All streaming threads completed" you're trying to download 
the wma version of the programme.  I rather doubt you meant to do that.

Try again and obey the first rule of Get_iPlayer Club:

*Run with --verbose and show us the output*

If it breaks again, try --modes=flashaacstd, and obey the second rule of 
Get_iPlayer Club:

*Run with --verbose and show us the output*

Otherwise, we're just guessing here.

> also, what version of rtmpdump are you using?  (rtmpdump -v will tell you)

get_iplayer also could be falling through to wma mode because it can't 
find rtmpdump on your system, though that seems unlikely if you've been 
able to download other programmes.

> finally, what options are you running get_iplayer with?  (get_iplayer
> --prefs-show)

Check any mode settings to make sure you haven't inadvertently bumped 
wma to your preferred mode.  Again unlikely, but quick to check.

Your hunch was correct. rtmpdump and flvstreamer seem to be broken
on my machine so I was getting the wma version.

I will try and fix these and try again.

Thanks very much for your help.

Subject: Can't resume
Message-ID: <CAHCN=KvV_J-JS0FO0249p3cpL-HQG=JU06h=uwSbSDRcqz4RCw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello. I am new to get_iplayer and am very pleased with it (many
thanks to the devs) except that I am finding it impossible to resume
recordings. Every time I try to --get something that I have previously
started downloading, I get the same error every time:
"RTMPDump 2.4 git-6230845 ... ERROR: Last tag size must be
greater/equal zero ... corrupt file!"

There is a bit more than that but I can't copy text out of my
get_iplayer console for some reason, so have saved myself some typing.
I am running Win 7/64 with g_i 2.80, installed via the automated
Windows installer (the one that downloads all necessary components).

Any ideas? Am I missing some crucial flag or command?

Thanks in advance.

I think rtmpdump (which does the actual downloading) is supposed to be
able to resume, but doesn't seem to do so successfully.

You'll find a file or two named something...partial...something -
delete these and try again.  You'll end up restarting the download
from the beginning, but it should get there.

Cheers

I had issues but solved them by using the current version of RTMPDump,
I think version 2.2 is included with get_iplayer (i'm using the
windows installation) but the current version is 2.4 ?  renamed the
old rtmpdump folder, extracted out the new version to a folder the
same name as the old version, works fine.

good luck!

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a way to d/l the Coldplay video from the BBC R2 
homepage please? It has a pid but --pid= does not work. I've got the 
audio from R2 In Concert but would quite like the video. I am recording 
it from Freeview's "red button" but my hard disk recorder will no longer 
burn DVDs. I'm a bit stuffed really - must get some newer technology!!

Thank you.

Sometimes you can plug the pid into an iPlayer-style URL to download the 
programme.  It works for your programme.  Use:

--url http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00mlvcy

plus whatever options you require.

This also worked for me with just --pid p00mlvcy and --type tv, which is 
what you would normally expect. Perhaps you plugged in the wrong pid?

Hello bg,

Thank you again for your help, now ... how on earth do you get to a link 
that long? I can work get_iplayer and searches and such-like but how 
would I go about establishing a link like that - where do I get the 
information from please.

Many thanks.

No need to use RTMPDump method.

As dinkypumpkin suggested, download it from this page instead ---> http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00mlvcy
get_iplayer --get --pid=p00mlvcy --type=tv

Yes, I understand that, but I was curious as to how you find such a

Subject: proxying get-iplayer.cgi through Apache
Message-ID: <20111217163809.GA14274@torchio.pasta.net>

I have an apache installation which proxies various services on my
home network, so that I only ever go to the same central web server. I
added get-iplayer's CGI server script to this. It seemed sensible to
archive how this was done in the mailing list.

    ProxyPass /iplayer/ http://192.168.0.2:1935/
    ProxyHTMLURLMap http://192.168.0.2:1935/ /iplayer/
    <Location "/iplayer/">
        ProxyPassReverse /
        SetOutputFilter proxy-html
        ProxyHTMLURLMap / /iplayer/
        RequestHeader    unset  Accept-Encoding
        Allow from All
        Order allow,deny
        #AuthType Digest
        #    AuthName "iPlayer Service"
        #    AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/iplayer.htdigest
        #    Require valid-user
    </Location>

192.168.0.2 is the machine running get-iplayer.cgi.  /iplayer/ is
the path part of the URL I visit on my central web server (i.e. I go
to http://my-server/iplayer/).

Hope that helps some Googler ...

Hi,

Most likely to be using rtmpsrv on something running linux - 
this is done by having iptables redirect traffic...

Covered in the man pages for rtmpsrv... run this to
set up iptables...

sudo iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 1935 -m owner \! --uid-owner rtmp \
 -j REDIRECT

(use -L to list -F to flush table)
$ sudo iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
REDIRECT   tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:1935 ! owner UID match rtmp 

Start rtmpsrv running under account rtmp, and on another session, start 
browser and go to the video to watch, rtmpsrv will start rtmpdump running 
with the correct parameters, example below is for channel 4 won't be
of much use as ip address/time are used in authentication string ...

$ rtmpsrv
RTMP Server 2.4-git-20111014

I think the pid p00mlvd0 refers to the stream for the programme 
"version" in get_iplayer parlance (default, audiodescribed, signed).  It 
might apply more generally in identifying multiple items in an iPlayer 
playlist resource.  At any rate, it is part of the identifier for the 
specific media stream that the flash player is accessing, which is why 
you see that value when you right click on the player.  get_iplayer is 
coded to start one level up with the metadata describing the programme 
or episode itself, from which it then ferrets out the identifiers for 
the "versions" and turns them into URLs for the individual streams 
corresponding to the available modes.  So in this case, pid p00mlvcy 
refers to the iPlayer programme resource itself.  To find it, you select 
"View Source" for the page of interest and look for where the flash 
player is set up.  In this case, you would see the following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
glow.onDomReady(function() {
   var emp1 = new bbc.Emp();
   emp1.setWidth("592");
   emp1.setHeight("368");
   emp1.setDomId("emp1");
   emp1.set("config_settings_skin", "black");
   emp1.setPlaylist("http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p00mlvcy");
   emp1.write();

})
//]]>
</script>

You can see the pid for the programme in the playlist URL.  Of course, 
in this case it is a playlist with only one entry, for the Coldplay 
video.  If you put that playlist URL into your browser, it will return 
the XML definition for the playlist, where you can see the <item> 
element has an "identifier" attribute with the value p00mlvd0.  This is 
the metadata that get_iplayer processes to find the available media streams.

Bottom line: for get_iplayer you need the pid (referring to the iPlayer 
programme resource) that is fed to the flash player by the enclosing web 
page, not the pid used to identify the stream that the flash player 
eventually connects to.  Clear as mud, eh?

Actually, very clear and thank you for the full explanation. I've done 
this poking around the source in the past but get_iplayer has made 
things so much easier that I'd not even thought about the need to go 
back there. Yes, makes lots of sense and I must keep a record for the 
next time!!

Thank you Nigel - I'm gonna have to print that down and look at it in

Subject: Tosca, BBC2 Live stream, Saturday - How?
Message-ID: <4EF23A86.5070108@googlemail.com>

Hello,

You helped me capture the live R3 audio broadcast of Tosca a couple of 
months ago and now the BBC is broadcasting the video of the same on BBC2 
on Saturday afternoon. As it is music and the ROH, I do not know if it 
will be available from iplayer later so would like to capture is live 
just in case. Can I do this ... or, how can I do this?

I use Terminal on Linux or the command prompt on Windows. I have viewed 
source in Chrome with live BBC2 playing but can't see anything that 
looks like a streaming url in a similar format to that used on the R3 
capture.

Thank you for your (continued) assistance.

Clive

This one?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b018nvw5

I see no reason that `get_iplayer --pid b018nvw5` shouldn't work, but you'll have to wait until Saturday or Sunday and see for yourself whether it becomes available on the BBC's iPlayer site.

I was looking at this the other day because there's some stuff on
today that I wanted to record.  The answers given last time were quite
complicated, and it turns out that get_iplayer will record the 320kbps
aac stream out-of-the-box thus:
get_iplayer -g --type=liveradio "BBC Radio 3"

cheers

The same principle should apply for recording the televised opera:

get_iplayer -g --type=livetv "BBC Two"

You may need to specify --livetvmode if you want to user a lower quality 
stream (should default to flashvhigh for BBC2).  You also may want to 
run with the --stop option in order to get a clean shutdown (converts to 
MP4, etc.).   Killing rtmpdump when the programme finishes will leave 
just the .partial.flv file, though that might be good enough for your 
purposes.

Hi,

To see if a program is going to be available for download later you can
just enter the program name into the search box at the iPlayer website at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

In this case this takes you to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search?q=Tosca%20from%20the%20Royal%20Opera%20House
where the program is shown as 'Coming soon', I use this all the time and
it has proved totally reliable as far as I can recall.

There is probably a way of finding this out from within get_iPlayer, I
noticed the --future option the other day but haven't tried to use it yet.
In  --helplong it says:
 --future  Search future programme schedule if it has been indexed
    (refresh cache with: --refresh --refresh-future).

Message-ID: <CA+j90W=oyujfvdvHF4iv-hs6_cJUtk5gBEj8CU=85XO=TLu6dg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
I have been reading up on this problem which is the video files play
at double speed with no audio and the solution seems to be to use an
older version of ffmpeg. Can anyone tell me where I can download an
older copy that will work with the PS3 so that any new vids that I d/l
with get_iplayer will work the PS3. Lastly, I have a lot of vids that
I have stored on my NAS, is there a way of setting up a batch file
that will convert all of these to be able to play on the PS3. Any help
that can be offered will be very much appreciated but can the advice
offered be quite explicit in the methods offered to fix my problems as
I am not all that PC savvy.
Cheers....

It does work, and Tosca appears in the future listings.  However, you'll 
need the latest version from git for --refresh-future to work.  It was 
broken in the 2.80 release by BBC changes, but I fixed it a couple of 
months ago.

Looks like my previous link has expired.  So try this one:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7678269/Ffmpeg_getiplayer.zip

Unzip then just copy the new .exe to your ffmpeg/bin directory, you 
could rename your existing one first, then it's easy to go back again 
should you want.

Hi,
I did what you suggested and when I try to play the mp4 on my PS3, it
shuts down the PS3 and leaves a flashing red light. The PS3 comes back
on OK when I press the power button and everything else works fine
(games, blurays, avi's etc). This is weird??

The file starts to play but only the first couple of frames before it
shuts dowm my ps3.

I have searched the web but with no real success, can you think off
any reason why it shuts down my PS3??

Cheers
Don...

Zaphod,

Yes, it is now shown as "coming soon" and I am encouraged. When I posted 
the request, iplayer schedule did not go that far so I was looking for a 
Plan B.

Thanks.

Thank you dp - I shall try that. Although it does appear to now be 
scheduled for iplayer, I shall take no chances.

dinky,

I believe my copy is from git but the command:

get_iplayer tosca --future --long --type=tv

finds no programs. The version shows as:

get_iplayer v2.80+n3-gitc313712-ppa2

Is the problem with my version or may command please?

Thanks.

Clive

You would need to manually install the most recent version from git if 
you really need --refresh-future to work.  The version you have dates 
from just after the 2.80 release, about 4 months ago.

I don't think there is a separate live stream for BBC HD, at least not 
one that get_iplayer knows how to find.

Subject: PS3 get_iplayer conversion
Message-ID: <CA+j90Wkksc9Mv4qNsKqnXUYFmHahhCe4GbEDFPyb33oWErJ==w@mail.gmail.com>

I am trying to find a way to use get_iplayer that downloads files that
can run on the PS3 and the ipad. So far to date I have had no problem
with running get_iplayer vids on my ipad but I have know gained a PS3
so that I can use my NAS to feed the PS3 so that I can play these vids
through my TV. (I live in Spain so no direct access to iplayer). The
problem is that they wont play on the ps3. A solution was offered that
involved downloading from get_iplayer as mkv files and then running
them through mkv2vob which does work on the ps3 but not the ipad (they
are converted with a .mpg suffix ??). Another solution offered was to
install an older version of ffmpeg which just made the PS3 crash.

I can get the get_iplayer vides to work on both ipad and PS3 this but
it involves downloading files as normal from get_iplayer and then
running them through handbrake where they then work well on both my
ipad and the PS3. This is a very lenghtly process.

I am hoping that someone has overcome this problem so that files that
are downlowded are tweaked with a change of setting to the
ffmpeg/get_iplayer conf file in get_iplayer that will play on the ipad
and the ps3 without any further conversion or manual intervention.

Any help will be greatly appreciated and please bear in mind that I am
not a techie.

Cheers....

So could you identify one or two (currently available) programmes that
won't play on a PS3, and if possible one or two that do?

Hi Jon,

Thank you for your interest in trying to resolve this issue with
playing get_iplayer videos on both the Ipad and the PS3. (the only one
so far)

I am running get_iplayer version 2.8 on windows 7 and none of the
current downloaded get_iplayer videos will work on the PS3. The PS3
symptons are that it runs at twice the normal speed with no volume
(version 2.7 also exhibited exactly the same problem as version 2.8)

If any of the downloaded get_iplayer videos are run through handbrake
(on the regular normal setting) they will then work fine on both the
PS3 and the Ipad without any issues.

>From information that I have found on Google, the BBC change the audio
parameters about a year ago that reduced the frequency from 48000Hz to
24000Hz (reduced by half) and this confused the PS3 which makes it run
at twice normal speed with no volume.

Another infradead subscriber offered me a solution which was to
install an older version of ffmpeg which I tried but it just made the
PS3 shut down when I tried to play a video, so this did not fix the
current problem.

The only current solution that I have which enables get_iplayer videos
to work on both the Ipad and the PS3 is to run downloaded get_iplayer
videos through Handbrake.

I do hope that this helps you in formulating a solution for any future
downloads but I would also like a solution which lets me convert all
my current downloaded get_iplayer video files of which I have some 750
videos in my collection.

If you require any further information then please do not hesitate in
contacting me where I will be only to pleased to help

Kind regards
Don...

For the record, I'm also getting this on my PS3 at the moment, using ffmpeg 0.7.7 on Linux.

I'm pretty sure that Shevek has documented this in the past, but I must have accidentally slipped into upgrading to a buggy version.

I never normally use my PS3 for watching iPlayer downloads now, so I have no idea how many videos on my NAS are affected. I'll try to test a newer version of ffmpeg the next few days.

I observed on Bunnies of Skomer myself, PID b0078yx9, but I believe that all videos are affected, if get_iplayer remuxes with an affected buggy version of ffmpeg.

See also my other posting today.

Yeah, this is what makes me wonder.  Is it actually a bug in ffmpeg,
in which case we should get it characterised and then fixed, or is it

I *thought* it was something that ffmpeg were aware of and that had been fixed in newer versions upstream. But I may be pulling that belief out my proverbial, as I can't now find reference to it. 

The most comprehensive discussion seems to be January's thread "HD playback issue on PS3" [1]. Private 53a?dd85 gives a suggested older version of ffmpeg as 0.5.1 (22140) [2]

Yeah, supposedly the version of ffmpeg is none later than 0.5.1 (22140).

0.5.1 will be the release number, I think, the 22140 will be build or revision number (e.g. SVN).

Yeah, that won't make any difference - it's the same video stream in either case. I couldn't get my PS3 to talk to MediaTomb when I encountered this the other day and had ended up copying the video to USB flash memory. The symptoms were fast video, no sound.

Sorry I haven't caught up with this thread earlier,  it's been a busy 
time of year.   :-)

It's very odd that your PS3 is resetting when trying to play a video 
file,  I've not had problems like that.  Just the "normal" no audio, too 
fast video problem.   Hope there's not a problem with your PS3 itself.

I have downloaded  b018xsm2  (I've Never Seen Star Wars) today and it 
was encoded with the version of  ffmpeg I posted a link to earlier.    
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7678269/Ffmpeg_getiplayer.zip     
SVN-r22140-Sherypya built 02 March 2010.

The resulting file plays absolutely fine on my PS3  (Slimline model with 
latest firmware from Sony).

The command line that get_iplayer used to convert the flv to .mp4 was:
E:\gip\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe -i 
E:\gip\Downloads/Ive_Never_Seen_Star_Wars_-_27_12_2011_b018xsm2_default.partial.mp4.flv 
-vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mp4 -y 
E:\gip\Downloads/Ive_Never_Seen_Star_Wars_-_27_12_2011_b018xsm2_default.partial.mp4


Maybe you could try downloading this file with get_iplayer and seeing if 
it plays on your PS3?  Perhaps copy the file to a USB stick if you have 
one and plug it in the PS3 and try to play it from there which will 
eliminate the media streaming from the equation.

I actually gave up using my PS3 as my media player (it was too noisy, a 
bit unreliable and I wanted to play HD mkv files without converting 
them)  and I instead bought a eMachine ER1401 which I picked up for ?110 
from eBuyer.com.   CPC had these on offer for a similar price recently 
but they're now out of stock again.

I've also done some experiments - and running a 'broken' file through
MP4Box results in a file that plays perfectly.

So we have
- ffmpeg <= r22140 works
- ffmpeg newer than that (or something around there) doesn't work
- broken files run through MP4Box fixes the broken files.  (using
something like MP4Box -add broken.mp4 fixed.mp4)

which convinces me that the problem is in ffmpeg, and isn't really
anything to do with get_iplayer.  Interestingly ffprobe reports a
48khz sample rate for both broken and working files, whereas the PS3
reports 48khz for the broken ones, and 24khz for the working ones.

Next step is to see if the latest builds of ffmpeg and/or libav still
exhibit this behaviour.

That still seems to be the case with ffmpeg 0.9, though I've encountered 
this problem in a different context (no PS3 here).  I used Elgato 
Turbo.264 HD to encode video for an Apple TV 1, and it was also foxed by 
the audio sample rate in the headers of files remuxed by ffmpeg.  The 
result was trashed audio in the output files.  I could work around the 
problem by remuxing with mp4box and then running Turbo.264, but I 
generally chose to drive the Turbo.264 encoding via QuickTime 7 in order 
to preserve metadata tags.

The 0.5 branch of ffmpeg is the only version that takes the audio sample 
rate from the FLV metadata.  That bit of code was subsequently removed 
in 0.6 and later branches, but I was never energetic enough to track 
down the problem with whatever replaced it.  AFAICT, the FLV metadata is 
written correctly by rtmpdump, and any QuickTime-based tool (or ffmpeg 
itself) has no problem converting the remuxed MP4 file, regardless of 
what is in the header.

A bit of esoterica here.  The audio sample rate is written in two places 
in the MP4 header (media header and sample table descriptor for audio 
track). I noticed a slight difference in the results depending on how I 
employed mp4box.  If I used the simple version:

mp4box -add broken.mp4 -new fixed.mp4

only one of the audio sample rate values (in sample table descriptor) 
was changed in the output file header. The mp4info utility (from 
libmp4v2) reported 48 kHz, though the file was still usable with 
Turbo.264.  However, if I fully disassembled the tracks and reassembled 
a new file, e.g.:

mp4box -raw 1 broken.mp4 -out broken.h264
mp4box -raw 2 broken.mp4 -out broken.aac
mp4box -add broken.h264 -add broken.aac -new fixed.mp4

both audio sample rate values were changed and mp4info reported 24 kHz. 
  I doubt it makes any difference, but if one method doesn't work for a 
particular application, perhaps the other will.

Glad you got it sorted.

Hopefully the old version of ffmpeg will continue to work for some time yet.
